전문가 '가상자산 과세 유예 가능성 60~70%까지 높아져..원안 시행 우세 의견도'

SL Partners managing partner Shin Byung-jin, a lawyer and former official at South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance tax bureau, said on a CoinNess YouTube program on 2027 taxation that the likelihood of another delay to virtual asset taxation, which is scheduled to take effect next year, has risen. Shin said that, based on recent developments, he personally sees the chances of a tax delay at 60% to 70%. On that basis, Shin added members of the tax subcommittee, which is likely to conduct the substantive review of the tax law revision, appear to be taking a cautious stance on taxation. Jung Sung-chul, an accountant at SL Partners who also joined the live broadcast, said he had seen the chances of the tax being implemented at more than 90% through the first half of this year, but now believes the odds of a delay have increased from that point. Even so, Jung said he still slightly favors implementation under the original plan, putting the odds at 55 to 45, while adding that there has recently been growing talk that the timing of taxation is premature.
